As was announced by The LEADER
two or three days ago, the late congress
just before its adjournment passed a bill
authorizing the establishment of a land
Office at Buffalo, johnson county, Wyo.
The act Of congress in regard to this mat
ter did not come by way of a separate bill
for that purpose, but after the bill had
been once rejected by the house of repre-
sentatives, Senator Beck succeeded in
having the proposition tackled on to the
tail end of one of the appropriation bills,
and by tina means it was allowed to go
through. The passage OF this act does
not however settle the question Of land
Office a. Buffalo. While no fuH and com-
plete text of the bill has been available it
is understood that it only authorizes the
secretary of the interior to make APP
pointments of officers for the new land
office and thus set its machinery in mo-
ton, and this in his discretion the secre-
tary may refuse or neglect to do.

AT the last meeting OF the city council
Alderman Draper stated that he was in
favor of some plan whereby bills against
the city should not be incurred except in
cases where the expenditure has been au-
thorized by the council itself. He was
opposed to members of the various com
mlttees or even their chairman contract
ing for anything which will create an in
d%ebtedness against the city except when
they have been expressly authorized to do
so. 1t is contended that the practice has
been altogether too loose upon this point,
and that in this respect retrenchment and
reform are necessary.
No definite action has been taken in
regard to this matter, but it is proba BILE
that a more stringent rule. will be enforced
in the future.

Cheyenne was taken in by the police yes.
terday and locked up in order to give him
a chance to sober up. He is a man some
what advanced in years and IS given to
periodical sprces, during which times he
will, of course, neglect business and let
everything go to suit itself. He has been
on a spree for some days now and his wife
could do nothing with him and at length
despaired Of ever getting him straight
again. The police having taken him in
hand, it is expected hat in due time he
will straighten up and be all right again
for a time.

Pointing This May.

From what can be learned at present it
appears that there is good prospect of
Cheyenne's having the Northwestern at
her door also. 1t has been known for
sometime that the Northwestern decided
to branch down in the direction of Color
ado, and that it has been decided not to
extend any further west at present, the
authorities of that road are turning their
attention in this direction. Chadron
would be the point at which the road
would branch off In this direction, and a
route from that point to Cheyenne would
lie in part through the finest agricultural
country in Wyoming or Western Ne
braska.

THE CASA COMP


Some additional facts are herewith pre-
sented in regard to the mammoth COM
pany just organized and known as the
Casa Grand Land and Improvement COM
pany. These facts are furnished by L. f.
Stable, the civil engineer who accom-
panied John A. Benson from Cheyenne
to Laramie City on Tuesday night last
and returned to the city lex day, bring
ing the articles..oi incorporation along with
him and filed them in the office of Secre-
tary Morgan on Wednesday.
The principal stockholders are L. S.
Stokes and Ii. DeCastro, of New York;
John FL. Benson, of San Francisco; j.
A. Beavis, Ph@nix, Ariz.. Col. Joseph
Hickey, of Wisconsin; II. p. Plat, Toledo,
o.; NJ. +. Post, Cheyenne, Wyo.; Henry
Pierce, San Francisco. Among the at
torneys who have been retained by the
company and who will represent in legal
matters are Hon. Roscoe Conkling and
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, of New York;
Hon. Frank H. Hurd, Toledo. O.; James
0. Broadhead, st. Louis, Mo-; and Col.
Phil. B. Thompson. Jr,, Kentucky.
The company has located it home Office
at Sundance, Wyo., for the reason that it
Is close to and in proximity with a large
tract of land of which it is now the pros
pective owner: The company is also the
owner of a large tract of land in Arizona
known as the Peralto grant and which
comprises more than 100000 acres of
the best land in that territory.
This company will m active
operations in the near future, and the
probable effect will certainly be beneficial
to the entire Western country.
A large portion of the lands which the
company will acquire title to are to be
disposed of in small tracts at reasonable
figures.

\ strenuous effort will be made by the
interested Cinnamon, who expect to
operate chiefly through the Chinese Six
companies, to effect the capture of zee
Foo, who is undoubtedly the murderer of
Charlie Tong, or at least one Of the muir
derers. 1t is claimed that there is a sys-
ten prevailing among the Chinese in this
country, such as enables the leading men
or. bosses of the Six Companies to keep
track of almost every Chinaman who ar
rives in this country. So complete is this
system that ordinarily, at the headquarters
Of the company in San Francisco, they can
tell you the whereabouts of almost any
Chinaman in the United States. Whether
this be SO or not, it is certain that the
Celestials have a pretty good faculty of
keeping track of each other, and such
being the case the chances seem to be
that the murderer will be caught. zee
Foo, when he left Cheyenne, went as far
south as Greeley, where he stopped and it
is probable that by this time he is some
where about or in Leadville.

GROUNDS SECURED
The Burlington & Missouri Invest
in Cheyenne.
Ten Acres, Which Probably Means
Depot Grounds"

AS stated in Yesterday mornings
LEADER, the signs of the times seem to
point Enthusiastically to the fact that the
Burlington & Missouri railway will be in
Cheyenne inside of a very lew months,
perhaps in few weeks. 1t is already
known and has been for some time that
the Burlington & Missouri surveyors are
at work southeast of Cheyenne, and have
been for some time figuring on the vari-
Gus routes by which this city and the
northern country can be reached. But
this fact is not so significant in itself as
would at first glance be supposed, for
within the past four or FIVE years a NUN
Der OF surveys have been made in this di
%rection, but without bringing the railroad.
Taken in connection with certain other
facts, the present survey has more signifi-
cance As mentioned already by THE
LEADER, certain parties who are con
nected with the company in at least a
semi-oficial capacity have writer on here
to Cheyenne to reliable parties, not only
giving the definite assurance that theroad
would come in here this season, but
authorizing the Cheyenne man to whom
the letter was addressed to invest In real
estate in this city for them. A still more
significant fact came to light yesterday
which may be stated in a few words.
Some days ago certain parties who are
in business in Cheyenne went out to Mrs.
Logan's place Just east of Lake Mime
haha and asked her what she wouli take
for her ranch or farm. Not supposing for
a moment that they desired or intended
to purchase, Mrs. Logan laughingly re-
piled that she did not wish to sell, but
that if she did she would want $40 per
acre for her place, which, by the way,
contains about l60 acres. What, if any
thing, in addition was said does not clearly
appear, but the result was that the par
ties who had Intercepted Mrs. Logan
in regard to the purchase of her
land went away, but subsequently
came back with a surveyor and were about
to commence the survey of the place when
Mrs. Logan interposed and wanted to
know what it meant. Here an e%xplana-
ton was made by the parties hat they
had understood hat a bargain had been
made with her for the purchase of the
place at $40 per acre. Mrs. Logan stated
that she had not so understood 1t, and
that she did not wish to make the sale at
all.
The plan Of purchasing the entire Lo-
gan ranch which, as everybody knows,
adjolns the city on the east, fell through.
Subsequently other negotiations were en-
tered into, which resulted in the purchase
Of ten acres of land off the west end of
the farm (adjoining the city limits and
close to the boulevard for the sum of
800 per acre. The Burlington & Mis-
souri, agents, for such they were, although
living in Cheyenne, wanted Mrs. Logan
to let them have twenty acres, but she
would not consent, and so the bargain and
sale of the ten acres was made as above
stated. This is a very pointed pointer
in regard to the intentions ofthe B%urling-
ton & Missouri.
